Description:

The banner has a picture of the Communist hammer and sickle on it. Other Klansmen and audience members are watching. Several people have cameras and microphones, and one man is holding a sign that reads, "United Klans of America / We Are Backing Our Boys in Viet-Nam." This image was taken for (but not used in) an article and photo spread that appeared on pages 1 and 3 of The Southern Courier for December 16-17, 1967.
